Harvest - A Mindfulness and Relaxation Lesson Plan

Enjoy an enchanting journey through a farmyard at Harvest time with Mortimer Mouse. The lesson teaches the children simple relaxation techniques including breathing strategies and simple yoga poses to help them relax, while enjoying a lovely comforting story.

This lesson plan below can be broken down into component parts for a short relaxation activity or can be done as a full lesson. Feel free to adapt it to suit your children and their abilities and needs.

Mindfulness and relaxation have been proven to increase children's concentration, create a calmer atmosphere and even increase attainment. It is a wonderful addition to any setting.

All my lesson plans are created for people with no prior knowledge of relaxation and mindfulness techniques and carefully go through every technique step by step. They also include a fun script for you to read through which incorporates all the techniques learned into an enjoyable, relaxing story which is completely age appropriate.

My lessons now all come with a child and teacher assessment sheet which is fully editable and enables you to show evidence for the progress and learning for each child.

This lesson is suitable for EYFS and KS1 (3-7years).
